Fantastic great to see german armour in early grey scheme, pity we do not see more Panzer IIIs... Far too many Tigers and the like. Great too to see 20mm as opposed to 25/28mm. What make are the minis do not recognise them?

Nice to see tanks that look as if they have been on a battlefield & not just come through a car wash & polish.
The stowage is also nice, makes each tank individual. I did see a display game a few years ago where the (nicely done) tanks were spoiled (for me) because the owner had purchased packs of stowage then placed them on each tank the same way, as if the crews were about to have a kit inspection.
I used to know an ex-tankie/wargamer. Every tank was differently 'stowed' , even if the item was the same. When bored at work he would split his used matches into 10mm splinters & connect them together with bits of fuse wire to make sections of fencing to stick on his tanks, why? because while on exercise in Germany with the B.A.O.R.(British Army On the Rhine i.e.Nato)in the 60s/70s they used to nick (steal) big sections of fencing from German gardens/farms. 'Very useful' he used to say 'to put under the tracks, if we hit any soft going'.
